13 And the Rabshakeh stood and called out with a great voice in Hebrew, and he said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! 14 Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you?, for he will not be able to deliver you?. 15 And do not let Hezekiah make you? trust in YHWH, saying, ‘YHWH will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’ 16 Do not listen to Hezekiah! For thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me, and each man will eat from his own vine and each man from his fig tree, and each man will drink the waters of his own cistern, 17 until I come and take you? to a land like your? own land—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 18 Lest Hezekiah should incite you? saying, ‘YHWH will surely deliver us.’ Have the gods of the nations delivered every man of his land from the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand? 20 Who among all the gods of these lands are they who have delivered their lands from my hand, that YHWH might deliver Jerusalem from my hand?” Isaiah 36:13-20, Berean Literal Bible.
